The Ohio Environmental Education
Fund provided resources for a project known as "Protecting
Olentangy Riparian Corridors." It seeks to improve mapping of
riparian areas within the OEPA's special Olentangy Watershed permit area (Ohio EPA
Permit OHCO00001), educating
local jurisdictions on the best ways to encourage best use practices
within their authority areas, and helping landowners know how to
manage the riparian areas on their land.

The pdf maps below
include the corrected stream channels and EPA Olentangy Permit
stream buffers based on the setbacks defined in Part III.G.2.b of
Ohio EPA Permit OHCO00001. GIS layers can be requested by contact
the DCRPC offices.

A workshop was held on
1/18/13 for local jurisdictions and engineers to discuss the permit,
review best use practices, and travel to select sites throughout the
county to see recent activity in the watershed.

– this table was originally prepared to show how existing zoning
resolutions could be used to encourage conservation measures within
the Olentangy Watershed south of the City of Delaware and therefore
only includes Orange, Liberty and Berlin Townships.
